Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
ENJABONARLO (4) worked to the front from this barrier then dug deep for a narrow win in a Breeders Challenge heat at Bathurst last start. Led from wider and stuck on when runner-up here prior. Should go forward again and will be close to his peak now. WICKED WIZARD (10) made it three wins from his past five starts at this venue when he led and cruised home last week. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but the form is hard to knock. NUGGET ROGERS (1) didn't do a bad job when he raced parked but boxed on last time and went close when runner-up here prior. Draws to get the favours. FOREVER ONTHE PUNT (7) made a winning start for Brad Hewitt last week. Draws wider but has yet to miss a place when second-up.
